Racing Métro 92 v Leinster

Home quarter final secured. Bonus point was nice. Can play a lot better. The 18 year old Racing Metro centre Vakatawa is going to be some player.

Hopefully they'll play the quarter final at Lansdowne Road. It's a second home to Leinster at this stage anyway. A profit of over €1,000,000 isn't out of the question by taking the game there. That should pay for new contracts for Sexton and Heaslip!

Are Leinster likely to come up against Toulon at any point? Would like to see Sexton vs on-form-Wilkinson
 
Sean O'Brien is easily the best player in Europe at the minute, he's having a season like Elsom in 2009, that's his third Man of the match award in five games.
 
Great that Leinster are in for a home quarter and if we keep playing like this I can't see anyone beating us in Dublin. I think our tackling was poor today but our attacking pace and offloading game is a step above anyone elses. O'brien had anouther good and surely must start for Ireland. Sexton really is controlling things well and his physical side is great (made a good hit today). I think O'Driscoll was my man of the match. Scored a lovely try made great covering tackles and passed really well. He seems to have a bit of pace and fire back. Although it wasn't our best game, no one can deny pool 2 was one of the toughest and we have pretty much stormed and played well in every game. Bigger challenges to go but we have built well.
 
I'd take Toulon happily. As long as we don't end up playing Leicester I'll be content tbh. While it's a bit early to be counting chickens, the semi final draw is vital. While I feel we have developed a bit more steel on the road, a home draw would make things far easier.

It's hard not to go a little over the top at the moment. We've comfortably come through one of the toughest HC groups ever with new management and a squad that has had it's rhythm interrupted on many occasions by pesky, if necessary, IRFU player demands. Good show!

Great days for Leinster rugby.



EDIT: Ten euro says we go out in the quarters.
